Question I have tough about working in the computer area of fixing computer from viruses. What is that area called? About how much is a specialist in that area paid?
Also, in your opinion, what anti-virus and anti-spyware should someone with a powerful computer use ?
Answer Hi Nathan,
The area you are thinking about is called a number of things like Bench Tech, Field Tech or Depot Tech for starters. Basically you are looking at a standard computer technician job which doesn't tend to pay much, but it is a good launching point towards other things.
In my opinion there are several good antivirus programs, but the one I use is AVG personal from www.grisoft.com
